Although it is not something any male will admit to, in America for example, studies have shown that about one in ten males aged between 18 and 70 suffer with erection problems, the figure rising to over half of men aged between 40 and 70. Judging from studies, an estimated eighteen to thirty million men in the USA alone are affected by impotence and need some form of impotence treatment. Enzyte will not alter the size or shape of the penis. Also, Enzyte is not for use in treating sexual dysfunction or any medical condition.

Where impotence treatments have been used successfully they have shown improvements in the intimacy between couples including sexual aspects and have helped with depression and aspects of everyday life. Many people believe that if you suffer from premature ejaculation then you have an erectile problem and require impotence treatment but this is not necessarily the case.

Any impotence interventions should commence with those that are the least invasive first and before this, any drugs that could be detrimental should be stopped. Psychotherapy and behavior modifications are considered next, followed by vacuum cylinders, oral drugs, locally injected drugs, and surgically implanted devices and very rarely, surgery on the penis itself.

Methods that use the male’s partner to try and help him unwind are based on impotency interventions that deal with an individual’s psychological problems. Often the problem is a physical one and these methods are used to treat those with success as well.

Impotence treatments that use drugs can be founded around those taken by mouth, injected or inserted into the penis. After much debate, the wonder impotence drug Viagra was given approval for use by the FDA in March 1998 and it was the first such pill to be employed and needed to be taken an hour before intercourse. Injected drugs can produce an erection almost immediately but Viagra assists the response to sexual stimulation but can only be used once a day. Many males have reduced levels of testosterone but this can be corrected with oral medicine although it is still not established that the reactions to this impotence treatment are not those that are provided by a placebo effect.

Many males gain an erection by using an impotence intervention which injects drugs into the penis, causing it to become filled with blood. These drugs may produce unwelcome side effects, including persistent erection and scarring. A shot of Alprostadil introduced into the top of the penis utilising an applicator create an erection in as little as 10 minutes which may last anywhere from half to one hour.

Vacuum cylinders that encase the penis are a type of impotency treatment that applies a partial vacuum to draw blood into the penis thereby producing an erection. An flexible band is then placed around the base of the penis, to sustain the erection after the cylinder is removed and left on during intercourse to prevent blood from flowing back into the body.

Improvements in impotence treatment are continually getting better so anyone with difficulty should look for advice from their physician first. As an end note, it is also worthwhile investigating the side effects of any impotence treatment that you are expected to try.
